“The most valuable asset that I take from the exchange is the network in the U.S. and the strengthened network in Austria. If I want to start a business in the U.S. or expand my customer base there, there are people that I can go to that will support me in one way or the other. But also the friendships that were made within the cohort are extremely valuable. We all have different backgrounds, perspectives, and skill sets and we leverage this by supporting each other in our endeavours. This support structure is invaluable in bringing our businesses to the next level.”
